How a photo of a flower led me down a #RabbitHole:
1. What's its name? #GoogleLens often lies, but nailed it this time: #Olsyniumdouglasii
2. More reading brought me to #botanist David Douglas, his passion for the natural world, & a 56-min film about his exploits.
3. I learned I was wrong to assume the #DouglasFir is named in honour of James Douglas, fur trade kingpin, politician, & first governor of #BritishColumbia (after whom half of #BC seems to have been named).
